Korean Red Ginseng

Korean Red Ginseng("Hong-sam" in Korean) refers to a processed ginseng, which is steamed, dried and matured to extract physiological activating ingredients and to be stored for a long time.
Especially Korean Red Ginseng's superior efficacy is attributed to the newly created activating ingredients(e.g. ginsenosides, Polyacetylenes, Phenolic compounds, Polysaccharides, etc) during the process.
Recently, medical researches and clinical tests disclosed the ingredients and medicinal actions of Korean Red Ginseng.
Generally, its quality is better than that of white Ginseng.
Through the special manufacturing procedure driven by steam, the starchy particles in Ginseng structure are so compounded well that its structure becomes strong, and that all its ferments are anti-activated.
this effect causes the ingredients of Red Ginseng almost not to be transformed even in long time storage.
In addition, through the manufacturing process by steam, the Red Ginseng shows a brown-color reaction.
Just at this time, the created materials during a brown-color reactivity having an anti-oxidization so restrains the bad effectivity of fatty acids contained in the Ginseng that the consumers will enjoy a restraint of oldness.
A specific turnover of starchy particles in Ginseng structure
from 'Sol' state to 'Gel' state makes a good absorption.
